The group of defendants, former police officers and doctors, were sentenced to prison for gambling.

Yesterday, June 13, Hai Duong Provincial People's Court held a first-instance trial of 5 defendants for organizing gambling and gambling, of which 4 defendants were former police officers and 1 was a doctor.

According to the indictment, Vu Tri Tuyen (34 years old, residing in Thanh Binh Ward, Hai Duong City, Hai Duong Province) is an officer at Hoang Tien Prison Camp under the Ministry of Public Security , and is acquainted with Do Thanh Phuc (33 years old, residing in Gia Xuyen Commune, Hai Duong City), a prisoner serving his sentence at the prison camp.

By 2019, Phuc had completed his prison sentence and returned to his hometown. In early July 2022, Phuc told Tuyen that he was managing an online gambling account and that if he knew anyone who wanted to take the gambling account, he would provide it. Tuyen agreed.

From July 20 to September 27, 2022, Tuyen received from Phuc 7 gambling accounts on the website with betting point conversion prices from 40,000 - 100,000 VND/point.

Afterwards, Tuyen handed over 3 accounts to Nguyen Dinh Tuan (39 years old, residing in Sao Do Ward, Chi Linh City, Hai Duong Province) to use for gambling; and handed over 1 account to Pham Minh Tien (32 years old, residing in Thanh Binh Ward, Hai Duong City).

Tien handed over this account to Vu Tuan Dung (33 years old, residing in Thanh Binh Ward, Hai Duong City). Tuyen handed over the remaining 3 accounts to Vu Toan Thang (39 years old, residing in Sao Do Ward, Chi Linh City) for gambling.

All 7 accounts above gambled at least 1 time with 5 million VND or more, with a total amount of more than 17.8 billion VND. Tuyen did not gain any illegal profit from organizing gambling.

The defendants Tuyen, Tien, and Tuan were formerly police officers at Hoang Tien Prison. Thang was a police officer at Bac An Commune (Chi Linh City), and Dung was a doctor. All five defendants had mitigating circumstances.

During the investigation, Phuc was not present in the locality, so the Hai Duong Provincial Police Department decided to separate the case for further investigation and handling.

At the trial, the People's Court of Hai Duong province sentenced Vu Tri Tuyen to 6 years and 9 months in prison, Pham Minh Tien to 5 years and 9 months in prison, all for organizing gambling; Nguyen Dinh Tuan to 3 years and 3 months in prison, Vu Tuan Dung to 36 months in prison with a suspended sentence, and Vu Toan Thang to 27 months in prison with a suspended sentence, all for gambling.

Regarding civil liability, the defendants were fined: Tuyen 100 million VND, Tien 60 million VND, Tuan 50 million VND, Dung 40 million VND and Thang 30 million VND.
